RECEIVED <br /> <br /> County of Hawaii 11mii _ By...___..... <br /> Data <br /> Council Meeting - 1 Oct 97 County Couriui <br /> Good (morning/afternoon) council members. My family and I aze residents of the <br /> <br /> Kaawaloa Subdivision in Captain Cook and I am here today to testify in favor of <br /> Agricultural Project Districts (APD) as a new Chapter in ow Platttting Code. I was born <br /> and raised here in Hawaii and have been a resident of South Kona for 23 yeazs. I believe <br /> <br /> that the stipulation that lot owners within these types of subdivisions be required to <br /> dedicate 85% of his or her lot to agricultural use and the low impact infrastructure <br /> inherent in these districts maintain the rural atmosphere that ealsts in my community. <br /> However, the APD Application relating to the development adjacent to my property, <br /> which you aze voting on today as Bill 129 goes beyond these guidelines. The use of the <br /> access road for this subdivision is not limited in any way within the application and the <br /> developer/applicant, Christopher Nome, has recently stated that that access road will <br /> Nina- <br /> additionally be used by eigl:E five-acre <br /> lots he owns abutting the APD. These five acre lots <br /> aze outside of the Agricultural Project District and, with the use of Ohara Zoning Laws, <br /> would put this access road to use tt is not designe for. <br /> Bill 129 is the first Agricultural Project District Application to come before you. You <br /> have an opportunity to make swe that this project will uphold the letter and the spirit of <br /> this new zoning law. It is imperative that you add a stipulation that use of the access road <br /> be limited to the residents of the Agricultural Project District, as well as those it currently <br /> serves. If you do not so stipulate, this precedent will encowage future developers to put <br /> this new law to use in ways.it was never intended. <br /> Thank you , ~jq ~sZ . /,2., <br /> ~~-y,~ ~ llV lie.
